Forty-nine years ago.
The Grand Lord of the first layer of the [Wealth Abyss] ultimately never returned to the [Wealth Abyss].
Under the Abyss's rules, the position of Grand Lord of the [Wealth Abyss] became vacant.
A fifty-year "Grand Lord Election" began, with the Eighteen Lords of the [Wealth Abyss] as its candidates.
The Green Demon Grand Lord was bitter.
He, too, wanted to return to the Abyss and continue serving as its Grand Lord.
But the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord had colluded with certain beings in the Divine Realm, forcibly keeping him there.
He could only watch as he was stripped of his position as Grand Lord of the [Wealth Abyss].
Moreover, he had learned something even more terrifying.
Of the Eighteen Lords of the [Wealth Abyss], ten had been planted there by the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord.
If not for the unexpected developments during the selection of two Lords of the [Wealth Abyss] fifty-seven years ago, the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord would likely have had twelve pawns there by now.
Even so.
The Green Demon Chief believed there was still a strong chance that the position of Grand Lord of the [Wealth Abyss] would fall into the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord's hands.
The Abyss had eighteen layers in total.
In terms of overall strength, the [Wealth Abyss] ranked near the bottom of the Abyss.
But what the [Wealth Abyss] represented was far more than a mere name.
Especially the position of Grand Lord!
There were only eighteen in the entire Abyss!
Becoming a Grand Lord meant entering the Abyss's true upper ranks!
Back then, after suffering a backlash from the [Wealth Abyss], the Green Demon Grand Lord had only needed to rest and recover for a while. Instead, he had fallen for the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord's persuasion.
